About The Position

Brookhaven Market is looking for a full-time, onsite Dairy Department Manager in Mokena, IL, earning $19–$22/hr. This role is here to keep the dairy and frozen departments in great shape—full shelves, smooth execution, and a shopping experience that feels easy (even when it’s busy).
